Jacobs.<BR/>I just had to comment on the first part of this statement of hers:<BR/><BR/> "Over these years, I had never heard developers<BR/>evangelizing C++, Java, or PHP. They were better languages than their predecessors – handy,<BR/>but not worth preaching about. So, why does Python elicit the preacher in the software<BR/>developer, and cause them to cross the line from rational acceptance to fundamentalist<BR/>adoration?"<BR/><BR/>Gloria, did you take a sabbatical in the late nineties? I witnessed a huge pro-Java tsunami of articles and posts. Mostly aimed at the C++ crowd, but it swept asside C and C++ as cool languages and made a large part of the industry switch to it. For me, Suns marketing of Java is the benchmark of success to which we mere Python advocates can only look apon and dream.<BR/><BR/>- Paddy.Paddy3118https://www.blogger.com/profile/06899509753521482267noreply@blogger.com
